The purpose of this course is to enable the students to perform the most essential word processing functions quickly and easily, to ensure immediate productivity, and to set up a word processing project most effectively. CIC has isolated the "Big Ten" functions of word processing--based on experience with hundreds of features in scores of word processors--those ten most important skills someone must know in order to complete a word processing task, from start-up through editing to printing. Participants do enjoyable and educational hands-on exercises to practice the "Big Ten" functions to ensure immediate productivity. Other functions can be demonstrated depending on the students' particular needs and skills. More than 70% of this course is hands-on use of Wang.

calling up a document, inserting, deleting, paragraph formatting,

emphasizing words, quick cursor movement, manipulating blocks,

searching and replacing, printing, saving and exiting;

functions and features;
